G.G. Jackson recently paid his head coach a bizarre compliment.

When asked about head coach Lamont Paris, the star freshman said “He’s the smoothest, good-smelling coach.” While certainly a compliment, it is not every day that a player comments on his coach’s hygiene.

Jackson is entering his freshman season for the Gamecocks. Jackson was the No. 1 PF prospect in the nation for the Class of 2022, and No. 6 among all positions.

Jackson, the Columbia, SC native, chose coach Paris and the Gamecocks over North Carolina, Duke, Auburn, and Clemson, among others. Jackson played 23 minutes in the Gamecocks’ exhibition game against Mars Hill, finishing with 11 points and 7 rebounds.

The Gamecocks open their regular season on November 8 at home against South Carolina State.
